Thread: Help with Mandocello bridge

    Default Help with Mandocello bridge

    Can anyone help me with dimensions for k1 mandocello bridge.

    I am going to try and carve one out of ebony but only have pictures. Even the length and width of footing would help a lot.

    Also, anyone have good suggestion for adjustable artchtop bridges that work well I can use until I finish making one my hand.

    Thanks -mark

    Try Weber. They make great adjustable bridges.

    Mark,
    Here are some images of a 1936 K-1 bridge. Note that the saddle is not in original condition because I glued a piece of ebony on the bottom side when it broke years ago. I think Gibson under estimate the strain the saddle could take on these adjustable mandocello bridges. Let me know if you need anymore information. Bernie

    Due to current budgetary restrictions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off -- sorry about the inconvenience.
